Quake Shakes

November 11, 1985

ATHENS, GREECE — An earthquake rattled northern Greece Sunday, forcing villagers to abandon damaged houses but causing no injuries. The Athens Seismological Institute said the 1:30 a.m. quake measured 5.3 on the Richter scale and was centered near the town of Drama, 212 miles north of Athens. Police in Drama said seven old houses in Volakos, 21 miles northwest of the town, were evacuated as a precaution because of wall cracks caused by the quake. The institute recorded 15 aftershocks, the strongest of which measured 3.5 on the Richter scale.
